Profile:

A former South African vice-captain and Western Province captain, but injuries have curtailed Matthews' appearances for both South Africa and WP recently. Matthews is a useful fast/medium seam bowler, who traditionally has done well at The Wanderers Stadium, and has a good record in domestic cricket in South Africa. Renowned for returning economical analyses particularly in domestic cricket, Matthews' form has taken a dive, but the South African selectors still consider him in contention for selection to the national side.
